TedSlimmjr knows his college football. I wasn't in love (or like) with Lock. This seals it.I've marveled over the throws Lock can make also. Although not in a good way.
I'll take that bet with Chris Simms.
If they draft Lock at 13, I won't be happy. If they draft Lock in the 1st round, I still won't be happy. If they nab Lock in the 2nd round or later, ok.
Why is that? What difference does it make in terms of qb position for the Dolphins whether they get him in the #1 overall, first round, or second round?
I would much rather swing and miss on a player in the 2nd round than the 1st.
I have said this enough times that I will actually put it in my signature. Drew Lock will be one of the best QBs in this class... top 2. He reminds me more of a mobile Philip Rivers.
Watch his highlights... You can't deny the talent and the stats back it up.
Then we should trade up!Drew Lock will not get past the Broncos at #10. Guarantee it.
Seems to be a good spot for him, I'd be a buyer in the second.That's not being fair.
Drew Lock has a lot of talent. He drips with it. His arm velocity is second to none in this draft, and he shows quite a bit of accuracy during stretches. The only guy that comes close to his arm power in this draft is Nick Fitzgerald, who is a terrible passer. Drew Lock is not a terrible passer.
Drew Lock makes mistakes. He doesn't have a firm grasp on the finer points of the position. Or maybe I should say he shows a firm grasp on like 80% of the finer points of the position one play, and then shows a firm grasp on a different 80% of the finer points of the position on the next play.
If he wasn't capable of improvement that way he wouldn't have produced the second-half 2018 footage that he did. So yes, you're hope-trafficking with Lock. But there's still a lot there.
I wouldn't take him at 13 but if he fell to 48 then I would.
Tunsil is a terrible example, weakens the point. I would rather have Tunsil, hands down, not even close. He's one of the top tackles in the leagueIsn't it then better to swing and miss in UDFA?
They drafted Parker and Harris and Jordan in first round. Isn't it just better to not draft all all, and swing and miss in UDFA.
Wouldn't you rather have Lock than Parker, Harris, Jordan, Tunsil, Jawuan?
What in their draft history makes you think they will not swing and miss on a prospect not named Lock?
